Hey everyone,

Want more control over the ads you see on your Roku Home Screen?

Here's how to customize your experience:

Hide specific ads:

Select the ad with your remote.

Press the * button.

Select "Hide this ad."

Limit ad categories:

Go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising.

Select "Sensitive ad content."

Choose the categories you want to limit.

For more info, check out our support article on managing ad preferences.

Happy Streaming! 💜

Thanks,

  I shouldn't have to turn off unwanted advertising when I own the equipment outright, I have roku on 2 tvs in my home, I will be switching from Roku, if I have to get ads thrust upon me, I'll just make a change...... I'm really sure you should fire the idiot who thought this up...... not like your the ONLY streaming service in town.....

  I'm a long-time user of multiple Rokus, always bought for their simplicity and clean ad-free interfaces. But the introduction of ads to the device is not something I've agreed to and Roku has changed the functionality of the devices which I purchased and which I own outright. If all the advertising is not removed then I consider myself entitled to return the devices for a full refund. Note to Roku CEO: your customers are not happy, fix this now.

  If the pop up ads don’t get removed then I’m ditching Roku for an Apple Tv.
  Charge more for the hardware and eliminate all ads.
